Paraguay - Yvytyruzu

We visited a regional park one morning called Yvytyruzu - and got to explore a small stream and waterfalls (cataratas). We had the place almost to ourselves. The butterflies there were amazing - so many, and so varied. I could have spent an entire day there. They're elusive, though, and photo opportunities were mostly non-existent.





Our friends enjoy the beautiful weather.

This butterfly was easily 4-5 inches across. The blue on the wings is so brilliant, you initially didn't notice the black.

These butterflies were about the size of Monarchs.

Here's the only other visitor to the park while we were there. He was a friendly enough guy, but seemed to be curious about our camera bags, so I hurried down to move them before he decided to get too close to them.
